frankj;....
but it seemed that the pic collapsed more from top-to-bottom before side-to-center. That simplifys things ,a little....Means you have a vertical deflection problem....
Most likely a bad IC now...
Prior to your smacking the TV it was working & the IC was saveable...
This apparently started with a / some bad connection(s) at the vertical output IC...
With repeated smacking , you most liklely fried the IC & some other parts as well...
I am the family auto mechanic.. 1st off , THANKS for your honesty....NO offense , but....
No electronics background, This part is a problem....^^^^ You have to recognize the parts involved , disconnect wiring cables , pull the chassis / board out to check parts , de-solder & solder new parts in , etc , etc....
This is not something I'd reccommend the uninformed & inexperienced to try & repair themselves..
With all due respect, I think you'd be better off calling a reputable TV repair shop....
Tell them you lost vertical sweep (& it's the IC) & ask for an estimate on repairs....
In my area , this would cost about $175 ~ $250 to fix...
I would consider pix quality before it went out as to whether or not you go ahead with repairs....
Your call...
I really wish I could've been of more help...
But me (or anyone else) trying to help you is like you trying to
help me with a strange noise coming from my car's engine....
GOOD LUCK.....
Please let us know how you went with this....
Once again...HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you & your family... ....
Later...Ron.M..... ......

Then, it wouldn't stay on without smacking it frequently. Then finally, I couldn't get a picture at all. While it was on the way out (it took a few weeks), it wouldn't do this reliably. Sometimes it was a few days between episodes, sometimes all day. Anyone have any idea what may be going on? Is it toast? If fixable, any ideas how much $$ involved. TIA for any help.
